Stairway To Stardom

Stairway to Stardom was a public-access television series that aired in New York City from 1979 to early 1993. Filmed "in what appeared to be a freshly carpeted Staten Island basement," the host Frank Masi (1925 - March 29, 2013) would bring on amateur singers, dancers, actresses, and comedians to show off their questionable talents. Thanks to exposure from NPR, radio shock jocks Opie & Anthony, clips and later on full episodes on YouTube, the show has gained a cult following.
